Re: 427 Mystery Engine
Glenn,
Those are great shots. I'm glad that as a 15 year old you were so inclined to use your camera! I've been a student of the development of the MKII and MKIIs for some time, and your knowledge of that engine is impressive. Most people don't realize it began life as a 396 prior to the 7 liter rule. Mr. Dick Keinath, a senior engineer at Chevy, was responsible for the entirely new design. The engine shared the same pan rail as the MKI (409), but nothing else was interchangable with a MKI or the later MKIV. I hope you find more photos to share.   Verne

Re: 427 Mystery Engine
Those are some incredible photos of Rex's shop and car, the kind you just never see. Thank you very much for sharing them. We all really appreciate it. I had a couple of '61 bubbletop cars earlier in my life and read all I could find on Rex White. He sure did a lot for Chevrolet back then.
